‘Treatment burden’, defined as both the workload and impact of treatment regimens on function and well-being, has been associated with poor adherence and unfavourable outcomes. Previous research focused on treatment workload but our understanding of treatment impact is limited. This research aimed to systematically review qualitative research to identify: 1) what are the treatment generated disruptions experienced by patients across all chronic conditions and treatments? 2) what strategies do patients employ to minimise these treatment generated disruptions? The search strategy centred on: treatment burden and qualitative methods. Medline, CINAHL, Embase, and PsychINFO were searched electronically from inception to Dec 2013. No language limitations were set. Teams of two reviewers independently conducted paper screening, data extraction, and data analysis. Data were analysed using framework synthesis informed by Cumulative Complexity Model. Eleven papers reporting data from 294 patients, across a range of conditions, age groups and nationalities were included. Treatment burdens were experienced as a series of disruptions: biographical disruptions involved loss of freedom and independence, restriction of meaningful activities, negative emotions and stigma; relational disruptions included strained family and social relationships and feeling isolated; and, biological disruptions involved physical side-effects. Patients employed “adaptive treatment work” and “rationalised non-adherence” to minimise treatment disruptions. Rationalised non-adherence was sanctioned by health professionals at end of life; at other times it was a “secret-act” which generated feelings of guilt and impacted on family and clinical relationships. Treatments generate negative emotions and physical side effects, strain relationships and affect identity. Patients minimise these disruptions through additional adaptive work and/or by non-adherence. This affects physical outcomes and care relationships. There is a need for clinicians to engage with patients in honest conversations about treatment disruptions and the ‘adhere-ability’ of recommended regimens. Patient-centred practice requires management plans which optimise outcomes and minimise disruptions.

Objectives To provide a systematic review of the effectiveness of home telemonitoring to reduce healthcare utilisation and improve health‐related outcomes of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods An electronic literature search in Medline, Embase, B‐on and Web of Science was conducted from June to August 2012 and updated until July 2013, using the following keywords: [tele(‐)monitoring or tele(‐)health or tele(‐)homecare or tele(‐)care or tele‐home health or home monitoring] and [Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD]. Randomised and non‐randomised controlled trials evaluating home telemonitoring interventions in COPD were included. A meta‐analysis using risk ratio (RR) and standardised mean difference (SMD) was conducted for healthcare utilisation (hospitalisations, length of stay, emergency department visits) and associated costs, and health‐related outcomes [mortality, exacerbations and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL)]. Results Nine articles were included. Significant differences were found for hospitalisation rates (RR = 0.72; 95% CI = 0.53–0.98; p = 0.034); however, no differences in the other healthcare utilisation outcomes were observed. There was a trend to reduced healthcare costs in the telemonitoring group. In two studies, this intervention was associated with a reduced number of exacerbations (p < 0.05) and a significant increase in HRQOL (SMD = −0.53; 95% CI = −0.97– −0.09; p = 0.019). Discussion and conclusions Home telemonitoring appears to have a positive effect in reducing respiratory exacerbations and hospitalisations and improving quality of life. However, the evidence of its benefits is still limited and further research is needed to assess the effectiveness of home telemonitoring in COPD management, as there are still few studies in this area.
